Alter Eco’s Royal Quinoa and Roasted Beet Salad

October 2, 2013 by Momstart 3 Comments

I LOVE roasted beets now. They are like my addict food currently and I saw this salad and thought, OH MY GOODNESS! This is health food and my go to food at the same time. Alter Eco Royal Quinoa sent me this recipe and I HAD to share it with you guys.

Quinoa Beet Salad LS

INGREDIENTS

4 cups cooked Alter Eco Royal Pearl Quinoa

1 bunch of beets (3 large, 4 medium or 5 small), roasted

3/4 to 1 pound beet greens (the greens from 1 generous bunch)

Salt to taste

1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (to taste)

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons caraway seeds, lightly crushed

2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled or diced (1/2 cup)

PREPARATION

Scrub and roast the beets. Once they are cooled, remove the skins and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Set aside.

Blanch the greens in a large pot of generously salted water or steam them above an inch of boiling water until wilted, one to two minutes. Refresh with cold water, squeeze dry and chop.

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the caraway, beet greens, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir over medium heat for 30 seconds to a minute until the greens are nicely infused with the garlic and oil. Add the beets and quinoa. Toss together until the ingredients are well combined and the quinoa is heated through and colored with beet juice. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Transfer to a wide serving bowl or platter, and sprinkle the goat cheese over the top.

Serve hot.

    This recipe sounds so good though I have to admit I’ve never tried roasted beets – only out of a jar or can. I’ll definitely have to give this a try.
